Dementia Friendly Glenrothes have launched their year 1 report outlining all their work to date.
Dementia Friendly Glenrothes aims to build a community where:
-
people with dementia and their partners, families and carers are understood, respected and supported,
-
people with dementia can find their way around and feel safe,
-
people with dementia have equal access to local facilities - even if they may need a little support to do so,
-
people come together to learn about dementia and make some simple, practical changes that can make a huge difference to people living with dementia.
Highlights of the project to date include having:
-
Approached 187 shops, businesses, services and community groups - out of these 48 have started to look at becoming Dementia friendly
-
3 organisations become dementia friendly
